So, you've decided to download an older version of Mac OS X. There are many reasons that could point you to this radical decision. To begin with, some of your apps may not be working properly (or simply crash) on newer operating systems. Also, you may have noticed your Mac's performance went down right after the last update. Finally, if you want to run a parallel copy of Mac OS X on a virtual machine, you too will need a working installation file of an older Mac OS X. Further down we'll explain where to get one and what problems you may face down the road.

Click on the 'Flexible space' button—located in the last row—and drag it into the toolbar. To remove flexible space, click and drag it out of the toolbar. Now that you understand how every element works, feel free to play around to get the Safari toolbar to look and feel just the way you like it. Step 2: Open the Mac folder, then double-click 'Omnisphere 2 Installer.pkg' to begin the installation of Omnisphere. Step 3: Double-click the file 'Omnisphere 2 Installer.pkg.' The installer might need to quit and re-open to ensure support for older versions of OS X, so just click 'OK.' Download Kerbal Space Program for Mac to build a space-worthy craft, capable of flying its crew out into space, without killing them. Mac OS X 10.6, Mac OS X 10.7, Mac OS X 10.8.

A list of all Mac OS X versions

We'll be repeatedly referring to these Apple OS versions below, so it's good to know the basic macOS timeline.

STEP 1. Prepare your Mac for installation

OS: Windows 7 / Windows 8.1 / Windows 10 / Mac OS X Processor: 1.8 GHz Quad Core CPU Memory: 4 GB RAM Graphics: 512 MB ATI 4800 series or better, 512 MB nVidia 9800 series or better Hard Drive: 300 MB Free. The playable Kerbal Space Program demo, version 0.18.2. Note that this file is for the Mac OS X based operating systems only. This new demo is based on KSP 0.18.2, so it has all the newer systems, with several restrictions, of course.

Given your Mac isn't new and is filled with data, you will probably need enough free space on your Mac. This includes not just space for the OS itself but also space for other applications and your user data. One more argument is that the free space on your disk translates into virtual memory so your apps have 'fuel' to operate on. The chart below tells you how much free space is needed.

Note, that it is recommended that you install OS on a clean drive. Next, you will need enough disk space available, for example, to create Recovery Partition. Here are some ideas to free up space on your drive:

• Uninstall large unused apps
• Empty Trash Bin and Downloads
• Locate the biggest files on your computer:

Go to Finder > All My Files > Arrange by size
Then you can move your space hoggers onto an external drive or a cloud storage.
If you aren't comfortable with cleaning the Mac manually, there are some nice automatic 'room cleaners'. Our favorite is CleanMyMac as it's most simple to use of all. It deletes system junk, old broken apps, and the rest of hidden junk on your drive.

Download CleanMyMac for OS 10.4 - 10.8 (free version)

Download CleanMyMac for OS 10.9 (free version)

Download CleanMyMac for OS 10.10 - 10.14 (free version)

STEP 2. Get a copy of Mac OS X download

Normally, it is assumed that updating OS is a one-way road. That's why going back to a past Apple OS version is problematic. The main challenge is to download the OS installation file itself, because your Mac may already be running a newer version. If you succeed in downloading the OS installation, your next step is to create a bootable USB or DVD and then reinstall the OS on your computer.

How to download older Mac OS X versions via the App Store

If you once had purchased an old version of Mac OS X from the App Store, open it and go to the Purchased tab. There you'll find all the installers you can download. However, it doesn't always work that way. The purchased section lists only those operating systems that you had downloaded in the past. But here is the path to check it:

1. Click the App Store icon.
2. Click Purchases in the top menu.
3. Scroll down to find the preferred OS X version.
4. Click Download.

This method allows you to download Mavericks and Yosemite by logging with your Apple ID — only if you previously downloaded them from the Mac App Store.

Without App Store: Download Mac OS version as Apple Developer

If you are signed with an Apple Developer account, you can get access to products that are no longer listed on the App Store. If you desperately need a lower OS X version build, consider creating a new Developer account among other options. The membership cost is $99/year and provides a bunch of perks unavailable to ordinary users.

Nevertheless, keep in mind that if you visit developer.apple.com/downloads, you can only find 10.3-10.6 OS X operating systems there. Newer versions are not available because starting Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.7, the App Store has become the only source of updating Apple OS versions.

Purchase an older version of Mac operating system

You can purchase a boxed or email version of past Mac OS X directly from Apple. Both will cost you around $20. For the reason of being rather antiquated, Snow Leopard and earlier Apple versions can only be installed from DVD.

Buy a boxed edition of Snow Leopard 10.6
Get an email copy of Lion 10.7
Get an email copy of Mountain Lion 10.8

The email edition comes with a special download code you can use for the Mac App Store. Note, that to install the Lion or Mountain Lion, your Mac needs to be running Snow Leopard so you can install the newer OS on top of it.

How to get macOS El Capitan download

If you are wondering if you can run El Capitan on an older Mac, rejoice as it's possible too. But before your Mac can run El Capitan it has to be updated to OS X 10.6.8. So, here are main steps you should take:

1. Install Snow Leopard from install DVD.
2. Update to 10.6.8 using Software Update.
3. Download El Capitan here.

'I can't download an old version of Mac OS X'

If you have a newer Mac, there is no physical option to install Mac OS versions older than your current Mac model. For instance, if your MacBook was released in 2014, don't expect it to run any OS released prior of that time, because older Apple OS versions simply do not include hardware drivers for your Mac.

But as it often happens, workarounds are possible. There is still a chance to download the installation file if you have an access to a Mac (or virtual machine) running that operating system. For example, to get an installer for Lion, you may ask a friend who has Lion-operated Mac or, once again, set up a virtual machine running Lion. Then you will need to prepare an external drive to download the installation file using OS X Utilities.

After you've completed the download, the installer should launch automatically, but you can click Cancel and copy the file you need. Below is the detailed instruction how to do it.

STEP 3. Install older OS X onto an external drive

The following method allows you to download Mac OS X Lion, Mountain Lion, and Mavericks.

1. Start your Mac holding down Command + R.
2. Prepare a clean external drive (at least 10 GB of storage).
3. Within OS X Utilities, choose Reinstall OS X.
4. Select external drive as a source.
5. Enter your Apple ID.

Now the OS should start downloading automatically onto the external drive. After the download is complete, your Mac will prompt you to do a restart, but at this point, you should completely shut it down. Now that the installation file is 'captured' onto your external drive, you can reinstall the OS, this time running the file on your Mac.

1. Boot your Mac from your standard drive.
2. Connect the external drive.
3. Go to external drive > OS X Install Data.

Locate InstallESD.dmg disk image file — this is the file you need to reinstall Lion OS X. The same steps are valid for Mountain Lion and Mavericks.

How to downgrade a Mac running later macOS versions

If your Mac runs macOS Sierra 10.12 or macOS High Sierra 10.13, it is possible to revert it to the previous system if you are not satisfied with the experience. You can do it either with Time Machine or by creating a bootable USB or external drive.

Before you do it, the best advice is to back your Mac up so your most important files stay intact. In addition to that, it makes sense to clean up your Mac from old system junk files and application leftovers. The easiest way to do it is to run CleanMyMac X on your machine (download it for free here).

Visit your local Apple Store to download older OS X version

If none of the options to get older OS X worked, pay a visit to nearest local Apple Store. They should have image installations going back to OS Leopard and earlier. You can also ask their assistance to create a bootable USB drive with the installation file. So here you are. We hope this article has helped you to download an old version of Mac OS X.

Overview

The main window is shown in Figure 1. There are four main areas: The active and inactive folder views, the folder tree and the quick previewer window. A toolbar, menu and status bars complete the picture. If this appearance looks rather complicated, you can turn off all the elements you don't need (from View menu), e.g. the tree, the previewer, even the second folder pane.

Here is a brief description of the main window elements:

• On-board help [0]. If you are new to xplorer² you will appreciate the links to demo videos that illustrate basic file management tasks to get you going with xplorer². Once you are comfortable with the program you can close this pane using Help | How do I? menu command.
• Active pane [1]. Shows the contents of the folder you are working with. This is 100% equivalent to the views windows explorer offers. The example shows a detailed view where you can see extended information for items in columns. Two items are selected, shown in highlighted color. A local titlebar shows the path of the folder being browsed. Only one pane can be active at any time; all user input is directed to it and all other user interface elements (toolbars, status bars etc) show information relevant to the active pane only. All menu commands act on the active pane, too.
• Inactive pane [2]. In dual-pane mode you can browse two folders at a time, having a 'spare' one displayed in the inactive pane. This pane is identical in all aspects except that it doesn't accept input; a slightly darker background color allows you to tell which pane is inactive; you can pick your ideal color from Tools | Options | Window. The 2 panes are totally independent and can be configured differently, like in this example where the inactive pane is in thumbnail view showing HTML previews. The inactive pane can be activated by clicking on it or hitting , whereupon the old active pane becomes inactive.
• Folder tabs [3]. Each pane can show more than one folder at a time. In such a case tabs will appear, each bearing the title of the respective folder. You can click on a tab to bring a hidden folder upfront. You can only work with one folder at a time, but tabs allow you to switch quickly among locations. You can also save folder groups and restore tabs for subsequent sessions. You can have the tabs on top or to the bottom of the pane depending on the setting in Tools | Options | Advanced.
• Folder tree [4]. Shows a hierarchical view of all the folders in the namespace, starting at the root (desktop). It is exactly equivalent to the windows explorer folder pane. Here you select folders you intend to browse. It is not normally used for managing folders but having said that a reduced set of commands are applicable when you activate the tree (e.g. click on it). The tree can be configured to follow the folder in the active pane so that the two are always synchronized. See Tools | Options | Window for all the available settings.
• Quick previewer [5]. Shows a preview of the focused item - the one with the dotted rectangle around it - in the active pane, depending on the content. Figure 1 shows the preview of a MP3 file that involves playing it with windows media player (if installed); WMP is used for video previews, too. When the focus is on image files (GIF, JPG, etc) the pane will show a preview picture. For text files (TXT, DAT, INI, etc), the first few lines are shown and finally a hexadecimal preview for all other 'binary' file types. The quick viewer pane is normally read-only but a few commands are available from a context menu (right-click to display it), e.g. Copy of text or graphics. [PRO] A second tab shows activeX (exact) previews of office documents and other popular file types.
• Toolbar [6]. Contains button-operated equivalents for some frequently used menu commands. It hosts the addressbar too, a combo box where you type paths for folders you intend to browse, and also command lines to execute. The drop-down portion contains the history of folders visited in both panes. You can customize and add new toolbars for the commands you use the most.
• Status bar [7]. It is separated in 7 areas: on the left you get various messages for information and errors. The second shows details for the focused item (type, size and modification date). The third part shows the index number of the focused item. The fourth shows information for the selection in the active pane; e.g. 2: 9,703,340 means that 2 files are selected and their total size is 9,703,340 bytes. The small fifth part shows an icon when a filter is constraining item visibility, and the sixth shows an icon when hidden and protected OS files are obscured. Finally the rightmost part shows the free space on the active drive. You can fine-tune the information displayed on a status bar through Tools | Options | Advanced.
• Menu bar [8]. Shows all available commands. As you traverse the menu system you can read brief command descriptions on the status bar. Depending on the context some menu items may be disabled, e.g. when a command requires at least one item selected and there's no selection in the active pane. If the menu system appears daunting, you can switch to a simpler version from Tools | Options | Window.
• Info bar [9] [PRO]. Each folder pane can have its own 'status bar' showing details of the focused item. Info bars are activated through View | Toolbars. Any column can be placed on an infobar; to select your favorite columns just right-click on the infobar.
• Drive bar [10] [PRO]. This toolbar lists all your local and mapped drives for quick access.
• Mini scrap [11] [PRO]. A virtual folder that can be used for temporarily holding items, showing bookmarks or even as a launchpad for programs. If activated it acts as a complete file manager; its only difference from the 'normal' pane [1] is that you don't normally browse single folders in it.
• Details pane [12] [PRO]. Shows extended information about the focused item in the active pane, including a thumbnail preview and standard file properties like size and date last modified. Click on a link (like in your browser) to change some of the properties like file attributes and name. In addition file-type specific information is shown, e.g. the duration of a song or video, the dimensions of images etc.
• Multi-function box [13]. Located on the right of the addressbar, it is a very flexible and convenient tool for filtering, selecting and searching for files. Use the drop-down arrow next to the toolbar button to change mode and fine-tune its operation.

The four major parts are separated with splitter windows, which you can resize to taste. You can also select whether the folder panes are stacked horizontally or vertically using View | Tile horizontally menu. You can move the quick preview panel to the left (under the tree) using the relevant check box in Tools | Options | Advanced. Once you reach a satisfactory arrangement xplorer² will remember it for you and reinstate it every time you start the program - unless you clear the Save program state on exit checkbox in the options dialog.

[PRO] All peripheral panes (tree, quickviewer etc) can be rearranged to taste if you grab them from their titlebar and move them around to another side of the xplorer² window. An outline rectangle indicates the new docking location. If you hold down key while dragging a panel it will stay floating (detached). Once you setup the panes to your liking, use View | Toolbars | Lock dock sites command to fix their position. Use the little pin icon on the titlebar of each docked pane to toggle its autohide mode. When autohidden, a pane is minimized to a tab-like button and you can expand it by hovering the mouse over this button. Click again on the pin icon to permanently dock the pane. Abort this mac os.

In a sense, xplorer² has a Multiple Document Interface (MDI) where each 'document' is a folder. Only one folder is active at each time but many others are easily accessible, from tabs in the active and/or the inactive pane. Tabs are added with File | New tab and removed from the Window menu. You can rearrange tabs with drag-drop. Right click on a tab to see a context menu with various commands including Lock which locks a tab from browsing - folders open in new tabs.

Ribbon toolbar

Instead of a traditional menu bar and toolbars, you can have the newer ribbon user interface, which combines the two, offering a more intuitive organization of commands. If you see the old-style menu you can turn on the ribbon using View | Ribbon command.

The ribbon is like a big tabbed toolbar. The basic Home tab contains the most frequently used commands, whereas other tabs offer more detailed control for advanced features. The leftmost File tab (dark blue) is a traditional drop-down menu where you can exit the program, get help, and get back the original menu if you don't like the ribbon!

Many ribbon buttons are split into a main command like Paste and a drop-down portion that shows variations of the main command (e.g. Paste link). You can get information on what each button does if you hover the mouse over it. Most xplorer² menu commands are present on the ribbon but for accessing all the commands you need to turn off the ribbon from 'File' menu.

The ribbon offers limited customization support. You can right click on a button you use frequently and put it on the Quick Access Toolbar, the little toolbar the ribbon puts on the window titlebar. You can put up there all the commands you need then right click on the ribbon to minimize it, and reclaim the space it uses.

Column mode (Miller)

Usually when you browse into a subfolder, the current tab switches entirely to it. Say you were browsing C:pathDESKRULE and then you entered the subfolder C:pathDESKRULEINSTALLER, you'd expect to see the contents of INSTALLER folder replacing the old pane contents. If you turn on Miller browsing (File | Column mode menu) then both the original and the subfolder contents will show side by side. If you enter a new sub-sub folder e.g. C:pathDESKRULEINSTALLERAPPX then a third side panel will open, and so on. As you browse deeper, panes to the left shrink in width. If you have too many folders simultaneously open, a scroll bar will appear to help you manage the panes, since only a few of them will show at a time.

Miller browsing will strike Windows users as odd, but it is popular with Mac computers and their Finder Celeste 2.7 mac os. file manager. Its advantage is that you can see neighboring folders simultaneously and transfer files from one to the other. Like dual pane browsing, only increased to multiple panes!

You move from one miller pane to the next either with left/right arrow keys, or clicking with the mouse. Only one folder is active in a miller column set, which will show in white background; all the other folders show with a darker background. The active folder is dominant: its path shows as the tab's current path, and all menu commands will operate in files selected in the active pane, just as if it was the only folder showing. After you create miller panels, each one could be set independently (e.g. one in thumbnails, the other in details, and a 3rd in list mode. But usually they all share the same view mode.

Space Ribbon - Demo Mac Os Catalina

Let's go through the elements of a tab showing side-by-side folders, showing this mini-hierarchy:

DESKRULE
INSTALLER
APPX

• Inactive folder panes [1]. These are folders higher up, browsed earlier. They show with a darker background. If you click in an inactive pane then it will become active, deactivating the previous focus.
• Active folder [2]. This is where you work in, selecting items to open, copy or preview. It shows with a lighter background color. Use up/down arrow keys (or PageUp/Down) to move within the active folder's contents.
• Folder tree [3]. The tree isn't a part of column browsing mode, but it is shown here to aid your understanding the relationship between the side-by-side panels
• Pane's titlebar [4]. Shows the path of the currently active folder
• Tab strip [5]. The title of the active tab represents the currently active folder in the miller set. You can combine multiple tabs with miller mode, and each tab can show a different set of neighboring folders.
• Main scrollbar [6]. When you have too many side-by-side folders open, there's no room to see all of them, that's why a scroller pops up to help you manage the folders. Each individual folder pane is also scrollable, but by default its scrollbars show in miniature, to save on screen space.
• Splitter bar [7]. Vertical divider bars separate miller columns. You can resize each pane dragging its splitter bar with your mouse

When you open a new miller pane, the old pane shrinks down in width. By how much? If the pane is in detailed view mode, then it will be shrunk to the width of the NAME column. If it is in list or thumbnail mode, then it will shrink to the size of the currently selected folder item. You can set a maximum width limit to miller columns from program options (Window property page) setting a value for Max list column width. There are more tweaks available using Tools | Advanced options editor, e.g. the maximum number of side panels (default is up to 6 parallel folders).

If you use the folder tree or any other UI element outside the miller container to browse into a folder 'far away' (e.g. typing a path in the addressbar), then the current miller pane is reset to the new folder. But miller mode remains active, so if you browse subfolders of this new master folder, sideway panels will pop up. To turn off miller mode completely, use File | Column mode menu or click on the equivalent toolbar/ribbon button. Also note that miller panes will not survive a program restart, only the last active folder will be re-loaded when you start xplorer² next time.
